When M on the Bund opened in January 1999, the idea was to create a dining experience as exciting, as sophisticated, as delectable as Shanghai itself. Located at the pinnacle of the historic Nissin Shipping Building, built in 1921, M overlooks Shanghai’s most famous sight: the Bund.  Here, diners sample a creative menu in a warm, sophisticated space, where references to Shanghai’s glamorous past are updated and given a contemporary spin.   The roof terrace is a favourite spot to savour M’s “simply good food,” whose flavours range from the comforting to the novel, from Europe to the Middle East, but remain grounded in classical European techniques.
